Mitsubishi Outlander

Monthly and annual sales figures for the Mitsubishi Outlander in Europe.

Related models: the Citroën C-Crosser and Peugeot 4007 were rebadged versions of the previous generation Mitsubishi Outlander, which was sold from 2007 until 2012. All three were produced in Japan at first, but production of the Mitsubishi for the European market was moved to its NedCar factory in The Netherlands. This is the same factory that has produced the new generation Mini hatchback since 2014. Production of the C-Crosser and 4007 were planned to be moved to NedCar as well, but remained in Japan due to disappointing sales.

The third generation Outlander was introduced in 2013, and it was the first SUV to offer an optional Plug-in Hybrid version, of which deliveries started in November 2013, specifically for the Dutch market, as the government incentives on these vehicles was the highest in Europe and would be discontinued for vehicles registered in 2014. As a result, over 8.000 units of the Outlander PHEV were registered in The Netherlands in the last two months of 2013, making it the country’s best selling car by far in December, by itself outselling every other brand (not just every other model).

The rest of Europe received the next shipments of Outlander PHEV starting March 2014, and several countries still offer incentives on Plug-in Hybrid vehicles, and as a result the PHEV has taken up almost two thirds of all Outlanders registered in Europe in 2014.
